The Houston Rockets have signed Tyson Chandler to a one-year deal.
Chandler finished last season with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Rockets had been recruiting Chandler for weeks and the reunion of James Harden and Russell Westbrook is believed to have played a part in his commitment.

I think he must be a great chemistry dude, there aren't many big men playing at 37, I think he's a great pickup for the locker room.

He was brought in for veteran leadership and locker room presence. I remember reading the opposite before she got traded. That he had become a problem in our locker room. Was sick of being on a bad team.

No disagreement there. But, please understand that it takes a few weeks for Chandler to work his way up to jumping for something these days...
